Child Safety

Tobii Pro Spectrum is an advanced computer system and electronic device. As such it is 
composed of numerous separate, assembled parts. In the hands of a child certain of 
these parts have the possibility of being separated from the device, possibly constituting a 
choking hazard or another danger to the child.

Young children should not have access to, or use, the device without parental or guard-
ian supervision.

3.6 

Do not open Tobii Pro Spectrum

Non-compliance will result in loss of Warranty! There are no user serviceable com-
ponents inside. Contact Tobii Pro Support if your Tobii Pro Spectrum is not working prop-
erly.

3.7 

Environment

Tobii Pro Spectrum is designed for use in dry indoor environments. Avoid any exposure 
to direct sunlight as this will affect eye tracking quality and longer exposure can overheat 
the equipment. Avoid exposure to any liquids, gels, moist, rain, sweat or other damp 
materials or environments. Do not use the eye tracker near water – the device is not water 
resistant.

Keep the eye tracker in a clean and dust free environment. When using the equipment 
take adequate precautions against dust and dirt.

Do not place or use the equipment in places subject to extreme temperatures and humid-
ity, such as on top of and or near a heating element, in a hot or damp room, or in a hot 
automobile in the sun.
